The league table is allowed to rest as Boyacá Chicó and Real Santander battle for Copa Betplay honors in this first 3rd Round leg of two fixtures.
It's no vacation for neither Boyacá nor Real Santander as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Boyacá Chicó form and stats
Last season, Boyacá Chicó's Copa Betplay journey ended in the group stage.Overall Primera A stats at home this season for Boyacá Chicó are 3-2-3 (wins-draw-losses).
Boyacá drew their last game, also a home match. Once Caldas was the opponent, 1-1 the score. Prior to that, an away loss at Deportivo Cali in the Primera A.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Boyacá have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won three times, drawn two and lost two.
The manager J. Gómez will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Santa Fe in only four days.
Boyacá Chicó have scored 6 league goals here from 8 matches, not a lot. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only -1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 9 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Real Santander form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Cortulua in order to reach 3rd Round of Copa Betplay. Santander's mission in Copa Betplay last season failed in the 8th finals.The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Real Santander so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-5 (win-draw-lose). When we have look at the Copa Betplay statistics, we find 1W-3D-0L. This is both home and away.
Impressive finishing secured the home win 2-1 against Bogota in their previous game. Prior to that match, a home win 2-0 against Tigres in the Primera B.
Real Santander are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, three draws and six defeats. From a total of eleven matches.
The schedule is very tough for Real Santander now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Primera B game at Leones FC is waiting in only two days.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Santander have scored 10 goals in 8 league games away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only -1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Santander's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 14 goals from these trips. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Boyacá eight wins, two draws and Real Santander zero victories. As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
